I founded Linda Dawson Architect in 2009 after ten years of experience with award-winning practices, including Malcolm Fraser Architects in Edinburgh, Conran and Partners in London, and RMJM Scotland Ltd. This background has shaped a design approach that blends technical rigour with creative problem-solving and careful attention to detail. 

My practice specialises in projects that require a delicate balance between heritage and contemporary design and in particular listed buildings, stone built homes, and properties within conservation areas where introducing new interventions demands both respect for original fabric and a clear vision for modern living. 

I enjoy working with clients who value well-crafted architecture, whether through sensitive extensions, bespoke new homes, conversions, or renovations. Every project is bespoke, grounded in quality materials, thoughtful spatial organisation, and an enduring aesthetic.

I also offer a Concept and Feasibility Package that helps clients explore design potential and planning constraints early in the process, giving you clarity and confidence before committing to a full project.

If you’re considering an extension, renovation, or new build that celebrates both heritage and contemporary living, I’d love to hear about your ideas.
